Dive-site story
Outer Limits is one of Saba's celebrated offshore submerged pinnacles, rising abruptly from the deep ocean floor outside the main island shelf. Because the pinnacle crest lies deep underwater, divers descend directly through open blue water along a mooring line to reach the summit. The volcanic spire is surrounded by abyssal depths that attract cruising pelagic species and massive schools of jacks, while encrusting deep-water sponges and black corals cling to the rock faces.
